Weather intelligence and voyage optimisation solutions provider StormGeo and Finnish AI analytics company Awake.AI have partnered to offer AI-powered port analytics to its clients.

The partnership, which will see StormGeo promote and deliver Awake.AI’s port call analytics, aims to offer the former’s clients improved ETA predictions on competing vessels alongside better visibility about port congestion, including enhanced efficiency and further reductions in emissions.

“Port congestion and inefficient ship-port interactions contribute significantly to delays, emissions, and operational costs,” said Rolf Reksten, VP of route advisory services at StormGeo. “By teaming up with Awake.AI, we are enhancing our voyage optimisation services by allowing our clients to plan their port calls more accurately and efficiently and ultimately help the industry save fuel and reduce emissions.”

Configured to more than 3,000 ports and performing over 1.5 million voyage predictions every day, Awake.AI’s solution analyses data which includes historical traffic and emissions data, automatic identification system (AIS) data, and vessel data.

“Awake.AI’s analytics are a natural extension of StormGeo’s voyage optimisation services,” commented Karno Tenovuo, ceo at Awake.AI.

In August 2024, StormGeo launched a new program designed to address the demands of the FuelEU Maritime regulation for the shipping industry.
